ok guys im almost %100 sure i am buying this screen so plz dont bid on itlol i have a couple questions about it.

Here

First what do you think??? and 2nd, whats that whole jazz about it only working when the car is in park??

200 is pretty good for a screen and the dash to fit. I think this is only a lcd, so you will need a dvd HU or cd player and dvd console. You should contact the seller prior to bidding. The deal with a dvd only working in park has to do with legal issues. No tv or monitor can be in use while the car is in motion. This can be modded quite easily.

yea the monitor will turn on, generally i think its only a 2 wire hook up.....but you are going to need to move your headunit around into a different spot, maybe get one that has a dvd player built into it.......

just get a car dvd player hu and mount it in your glove compartment. Its very easy and I can walk you through it if need be. Just buy any cheap dvd player for 150 bucks and you'll be set.

ok i was thinking...

to cut out a slot right below the ciggarette lighter and sliding my current HU in there... sort of on an upward angle, that way i can keep my nice looking sony HU visible and then have the mini ps2 in the glovebox.

The only problem is that you won't be able to load a cd while the shifter is in park. I had a dual HU in ahother car and mounted it in the pocket. It became kind of annoying after a while.

good point, i considered that but since i bought my ipod, i havent listened to a cd in probably two months so i think i will be good.

Where has everyone els with lcd put their HU's other then the glovebox??

i have seen some under the passenger seat or in the trunk, there isnt any other place I can think of unless you go custom like silent and fiberglass it in the back seat.

I put mine just under the a/c controls when I had my screen. Still had a small pocket under it too. It wasn't that bad getting cd's in and out (the flexed just enough). Besides that was only in Park. How often do you just sit in your car and swap out cds in a single cd player?
